There are several different questions here: - what was the hidden ontology of the vCard designers? - what are the dominant (hidden) ontologies of the vCard users? - what is a good ontology for this application space? The last one is a whole lot of fun. I think it's best approached by first figuring out all the different contexts in which different names might be used for someone. But for vCard/hCard, maybe the context is pretty clear -- you just want the name as it appears on a business card. (Maybe there are several of those -- business card in native language(s) and business card in English, but those can probably be handled by language tagging on the literal.) -- SandroReceived on Friday, 17 November 2006 15:02:37 GMT
